 Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 10:17 pm Post subject: Xorg keyboard layout not working anymore after upgrade |
 |
|
I have 2 keyboards connected to my PC: one Logitech diNovo bluetooth keyboard (using a logitech bluetooth USB dongle) and a standard AT PS/2 keyboard. I have configured a belgian (azerty) keyboard layout using HAL.
But after a recent emerge world Xorg was updated to 1.7.6 and my keyboard layout of the diNovo keyboard in X is suddenly qwerty and I fail to set it back to belgian. The PS/2 keyboard however is still using a belgian keymap.
The xorg startup logging states this about my input devices:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf has no keyboard or layout definitions
As you can see, for the diNovo keyboard it states: Option "xkb_layout" "be" as it does for the standard AT keyboard. But it doesn't seem to have any effect for the diNovo keyboard anymore like it still does for the AT keyboard and like it did before the update. There was also no change in the configuration.
Here is my HAL configuration:

Can someone shed some light on this for me? as I don't understand what is going wrong? I know HAL is going to be depricated and Xorg 1.8.0 won't work with it anymore. But this is still Xorg 1.7.6, so shouldn't it still work like before?
What do I have to do to get a belgian keymapping on my diNovo keyboard again? |

Correction, I just found out that as soon as I press one key on my AT PS/2 keyboard, my diNovo also switches to belgian layout.
However upon a restart of Xorg, the layout of the diNovo keyboard is switched back to qwerty.. until I press a key on the AT keyboard again...
I'm starting to think this is a bug? |

One year later... Those patches didn't work. And this seems to be another bug..
Meanwhile I'm running xorg-server 1.9.5 and HAL is deprecated.
But the problem still remains..
I now have
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
Option "XkbModel" "logidinovo"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection |
for my keyboard configuration.
And Xorg still seems to load the keyboard layout:
| /var/log/Xorg.0.log: | [ 56.991] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech diNovo Keyboard (/dev/input/event7)
[ 56.991] (**) Logitech diNovo Keyboard: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"

But I still get a QWERTY layout for the bluetooth diNovo Keyboard instead of the Belgian AZERTY layout;
I also have a PS/2 AT keyboard attached, which is also detected, and has the same parameters applied due to the config:
| /var/log/Xorg.0.log: | [ 45.905] (II) config/udev: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard (/dev/input/event3)
[ 45.905] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
[ 45.905] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Applying InputClass "keyboard-all"
[ 45.905] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: always reports core events
[ 45.905] (**) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event3"
[ 45.915] (--) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Found keys
[ 45.915] (II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
[ 45.915] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
[ 45.915] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 45.915] (**) Option "xkb_model" "logidinovo"
[ 45.915] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "be"
[ 45.915] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
|
And this keyboard actually has the correct AZERTY layout.. And as soon as I press one key on the AT PS/2 keyboard (for example the "a") .. My bluetooth keyboard also switches layout to AZERTY.
Seems like someone using Arch Linux is also having this problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=642344
But no usefull answer there either.. |

Hi,
I'm facing this problem also for longer than a year, but while reviewing it again today I found a dirty workaround for now:
I installed setxkbmap and put "setxkbmap -layout de" at the end (but before the "exit 0" line) of the /etc/gdm/Init/Default and now it works like a charm 
Until now i worked around the problem by removing the hid2hci-rule for the dinovo and placed a shortcut on my Desktop to execute the hid2hci manually, when I wanted to use the Bluetooth.
I hope, this helps you.. |
